Chapter 201 Remember to tell me
Just as they were walking, Secretary Mo turned to the elementary school. Principal Song saw Secretary Mo coming and hurriedly came over to entertain Secretary Mo. Secretary Mo raised his hand and refused, saying that he would simply take a walk.
After that, I walked around outside each classroom and saw Xia Chan, who was teaching everyone in the classroom. Secretary Mo’s eyes were full of appreciation and relief. The Yongan production team has cultivated such an outstanding girl. With her in the classroom, , Yongan production team will definitely not be bad in the future, no, it should be said that the entire commune will not be bad in the future.
How can we retain such talents?
In the evening, when Xia Chan was making dinner, Xia Qi came back and suddenly reached out and poked Xia Chan on the forehead, "You are really bold."
He just said, why is there always so much cassava in the house? It turns out that she planted it quietly on the hilltop. She planted and harvested it all by herself. She did it all quietly. It was so hard work, but she didn't even mention it.
Xia Chan covered her forehead and smiled mischievously. Of course she understood what Xia Qi was talking about.
The cassava she planted was not far from home. Her brothers must have seen it before and wondered what it was. When harvesting cassava today, they naturally remembered that cassava grew on the hills near their home.
It’s no wonder that their family eats cassava every now and then. It turns out that it’s all earned through hard work by the younger sister.
"If anything happens in the future, please remember to tell me. Don't do it quietly by yourself. Do you understand?" Xia Qi rubbed Xia Chan's hair. He would not stop her, but he would help her cover it up. , will also do it for her, so that she doesn’t have to work so hard.
Xia Chan winked mischievously and then continued to make dinner.
Now that the cassava has been handed over to the production team, she will not plant it again in the future, but she will continue to plant konjac and taro. She will not tell the outside world about these two things anymore, even if they are planted openly, others will not recognize this or know about it. This can be eaten, but it will probably be regarded as an unknown grass or tree.
There weren't many wild yams left last year. Her brothers dug them up for her. She weighed them in the hotel suite and found that they were only about a thousand kilograms. However, they were all for nothing. There was enough for them to eat for a while. It's time.
Xia Chan harvested a lot of yam beans in September and October last year. Yam cultivation had to be stopped for several years a year before replanting. So after spring this year, the yam beans were planted elsewhere, and then in September and October this year Xia Chan went to pick the yam beans from the remaining yams. When spring came, she would have to find a place to plant the yam beans again.
There are not many yams this year, so Xia Chan gives ten kilograms to the families of people she knows well. The same goes for several students from elementary school and Principal Song's family. The same goes for teachers from various subjects and the principal's family whom she knows in high school.
In the evening, Xia Chan peeled a pot of yam, washed the yam, cut it into pieces, and put it into a pot. Yams are easy to ripen, but they tend to rot over time and become difficult to pick up, so they stewed them in waxed pork ribs. When it was almost time to eat, I poured the yam into the pork rib soup, covered the pot, and simmered slowly.
While the yam and pork ribs soup was simmering in the pot, Xia Chan and her brothers moved the things drying in the yard into the house. The houses of Xia Qi, Jin Pengfei, and Jin Pengyuan were all empty, which was perfect for storing things.
Otherwise, Xia Chan's house really wouldn't have such a big place to put so many things.
When eating in the evening, the soup with yam and pork ribs had a faint salty aroma. Not to mention eating too much, Xia Chan only ate two small pancakes and drank a large bowl of yam and pork ribs soup before she was full. Xia Qi gave Xia Chan two pieces of ribs, "Eat more dry food, otherwise you will be hungry in the middle of the night."
"Thank you." Xia Chan smiled sweetly, then picked up the spareribs and ate them. She bought the cured spareribs from the 'Crossing Mall', because there was no meat on the spareribs in this era, so there was no point in using them for smoking. It can be stored for a longer period of time, but it only has bones and no meat.
"What are Xiaochan's plans for our pig?" Thinking of the pigs he raised, Xia Bin asked, "Do you plan to keep half of the pig and sell half of it, or keep all of it?"
Their family raises two pigs, but one is a task pig and must be handed over to the commune for free. The commune will give a small reward at most, but no money.
"I want to keep them all, eat half of them fresh and half of them smoked bacon." Pigs at this time cannot grow that big. Many people's pigs can only grow to more than 100 kilograms, and there is not much meat.
Xia Chan is willing to feed pigs, so the pigs she raises are bigger and have more meat. However, a pig can only produce more than 100 to 200 jins of meat at most. She makes some dumplings and steamed buns at home. , what else is left?
We also need to prepare some bacon for Xiao Tiantian, Su Yu, and Xiao Yunfan. I don’t even know if there will be any leftover in the end!
Moreover, the price of live pigs is cheap, about 60 cents or 80 cents. A pig can only be sold for a small amount, and then you have to spend money to buy meat. Why bother?
"Okay, then keep them all." Xia Bin nodded.
"Those debtors mainly come to our house to use money to offset the meat. Don't agree to it. These are two different things. In case they eat the meat and forget about it, they think we haven't paid back the money. So we pay back the money we should pay, and we can't use the meat to offset it." Buckle.”
It's not that Xia Chan doesn't believe them, but that we are all mortals, and we really can't remember many things after a long time. What if they take the meat home and forget to register it in the account book?
Xia Chan also didn't expect that others would wrongly accuse them of not paying back the money.
After hearing Xia Chan's words, the brothers all nodded.
Later, when the villagers were harvesting cassava, Xia Chan went to the hills near her home to harvest the konjac and taro she planted alone. Although it was hard work, the joy of the harvest was enough to dispel all the hard work.
During previous droughts and lack of rain, the yields of konjac and taro were not low because Xia Chan occasionally watered them. This year she harvested more than 5,000 kilograms of taro, and less than 2,000 kilograms from the swamp, a total of almost seven About a thousand pounds.
She also harvested a total of more than 9,000 kilograms of konjac. Including last year's harvest, she has a total of nearly 20,000 kilograms of konjac. However, konjac is too troublesome to deal with, so she has not dealt with a single konjac in the past two years.
If you sell it directly like this, others won't buy it if they don't know how to eat it.
If she wanted to sell konjac, she had to process it first, but it was too troublesome, and she was very busy, so she kept putting it on hold. Xia Chan decided to leave it alone and process it when she was free, and wait until winter to put the vegetables and After selling the wild vegetables, the space in the hotel is enough.
Yams and taro can be stored for a long time, so Xia Chan prepared fifty kilograms of yams and taro each, planning to ask Xiao Tiantian to send them back to her family one day when Xiao Tiantian went to send them something.
